Bad Day today:

I was down 6.5 buyins today in about 2400 hands. It was not a good day in terms of gettting cards, i couldn't win a pot. But as long as my play is good, i shouldn't be upset... but i'm just not sure sometimes because i make marginal aggro plays.

I had two failed three barrels:

Villain in this hand is a pretty good semi-lag. He seems pretty aggro, c/r flops a lot when calling from the blinds. I feel that he made a relatively bad call because he's never seen me do any big bluffs, although it is three handed. Then again, i probably shouldn't be threebarreling with utter air. What do you think?

Villain shows T9

This was an interesting one, i'm pretty surprised by the villains call here also, and very surprised how he played his hand. He's running about 23/11 over 100 hands, he's barely showed down so i really don't know anything, and all those hands were from previous sessions.

I really wanted to try at least one really unstandard hand, but i couldn't seem to find any situations where it would be profitable. Hopefully i'll be able to find a good situation tomorrow.

I'd probably say the worst hand of my session was this. Villain is completely unknown. It's just really dumb to threebet here, especially if i'm going to be clueless on a flop like this. I'm trying to think ahead more before i make plays, because of things like this:

I lost so many small pots it's hard to pinpoint one thing from that session. But i feel that it was many things like the hand above, where i acted without a plan. Hopefully i can improve on this next session.
